Waging war

On the arms race of sound

Shut down the noise-aholics 
                    G 
Put down the quiet-ophobics

In a calmness too brief

My lullaby be stilling

It could be such sweet silence

From static from violence from...

Everyone competing for air space)

(Big brother isn't watching anymore 
Bm                             G 
He knows we are distracted and absorbed)

Broadcasting our grief Our imagination's atrophied 
A7 
We can't think 
D                             Bm 
If I could sing them all to sleep

If I could sing myself deaf 
                   A 
Wouldn't it be lovely? 
                          
Doesn't it sound perfect?

Bm                              G 
I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death)

Save them from progressive misery

I'm counting

If I could sing myself to sleep 
                       G 
If I could sing myself deaf
